It seems to be clear that the term "poll axe" or "pole axe"can mean different things to different people.
In some places it seems to mean an axe with a heavy butt, in other places it means an axe that has a head with a round eye, but the term seems to have originated some time in the 14th-15th centuries as the name of weapon with longish shaft, the head of which was a combination of a pike, a hammer, & an axe.
In any case, however we wish to understand the term, I rather doubt that it can be applied to the hatchet that began this thread.
